Come, John, this is absurd. When people claim to act in your name, you have a responsibility to actively disavow their actions if you disagree with them. I have to agree, here, actually, that to my mind most anti-abortion groups do seem to make far too little effort to condemn their own radicals. The first responsibility of responsible activism is to police _your own_ extremsists, and (judging by the examples presented so far) the pro-life movement doesn't appear to be doing a very good job. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
